The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Kiviyli
The DMS coordinates are: 59°21'11'' N 26°58'16'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 59.35306°
LngO = 26.97111°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -59.35306°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 26.97111 - 180° = -153.02889°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Kiviyli is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-59.35306, -153.02889)
In DMS format: 59°21'11'' N 26°58'16'' E .
